searching for a 410cab.. which one ?!

[RX2]

hello guys..


gonna update my rig soon and at the moment i have a Hartke LH 500 head and a Hartke VX 115 cab.. the cabinet isn´t the best so i decided to add a 410 or trade it in for a better 410 cab...

im searching for a pretty fat and punchy sound but not to fat either cause im doing a lot of slap as well..

Jonathan gallants sound from billy talent is pretty what im searching for

these are the ones i´ve looked at:

Hartke HyDrive 410
Ampeg B410HLF
EDEN EN410XST
AMPEG SVT410 HE
Warwick WCA411pro




if any1 have something to say about these cabs or suggestions on other who isnt listed so write !!

thx

If you've got the cash I can't suggest a Bergantino AE410 enough. Best cab I've ever played through, period. The only way I could see my current rig changing is to add another, lol.

If you can't pony up the scratch for that the HyDrive 410 is sweet but it's only available in 8ohms unless you get the 5410C combo that includes a LH500.

I haven't had any experience with he Ampegs or the Warwick but I'll tell you right now, the Eden is NOT what you want, not by itself anyway. I honestly cannot imagine that cab being used by itself for anything besides dub/reggae. It's got huge bottom but not much else. I don't even think they're meant to be used alone (I know I hated it when I tried it). Every time I see one in a rig it's always with another XLT series cab which have much more mid and top end definition while still retaining that trademark Eden warmth.

Don't know what kind of volume levels you require for the music you like, (or don't like, but have to play anyway,) but you might want to at least try a pair of the Hydrive 112s as well.

What they lack in booty (just a little) they more than make up for in accuracy and the compression driver is sweeter for slap tones - just my opinion, I'm an old fart that likes funky more than sheer ear splitting volume, so take it for what it's worth.
